Features
- Blade Material: VG10 Stainless Steel / Edge Angle: Double Edged / Grade: Damascus / Handle Shape: Octagonal / HRC: 60 / Knife Style: Nakiri Vegetable Knife / Saya Cover: Natural Magnolia Wood / Stain Resistant: Yes / Made in Japan
- Forged and hammered with 46 layers of steel in the Damascus tradition with a VG10 Core, the VG10 Hammered Damascus Series has been a perennial seller, combining performance, beauty, and extraordinary value.
- One of the most popular knives that a cook can have today is a Japanese Vegetable knife known as a Nakiri knife. The Nakiri is a Japanese double edged knife with a flat cutting edge. The flatness allows for the whole length of the knife to come in contact with the cutting board with each stroke. This is particularly helpful when chopping vegetables since it eliminates those imperfect cuts in which ingredients are hanging by a string.
- Reminiscent of a small cleaver, this knife is cherished for its ability to chop through root vegetables to thinly slicing delicate tomatoes. From prepping greens for a salad to chopping vegetables for a main dish, the simplest of tasks are elevated with a handcrafted knife that is as beautiful as it is functional.
- Proudly made in Japan. This knife is complimented with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted Octagonal Handle that is lightweight and ergonomically welds to the hand for seamless use. A protective wooden sheath called a Saya is included, which protects the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. The hammered texture of the blade eliminates friction and keeps food from sticking to the blade.
- Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones. Hand wash and dry only, and do so immediately if working with acidic ingredients. Do not use on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.

The craftsmanship in this knife is truly amazing. The 46 layer, hand hammered Damascus is beautiful and the rosewood handle is solidly attached and the octagonal shape has great hand feel, providing a solid grip during cutting, while also being beautiful. The knife is incredibly light and razor sharp out of the box. It is well balanced and comes with a Saya sheath and holding pin. Like with every Japanese, handcrafted product I have ever dealt with, every detail is executed with care and great attention to detail even down to the external packaging. The desire being to provide the best experience possible. This is my first knife from Yoshihiro Cutlery but it will definitely not be my last. Can’t recommend this highly enough as a professional Chef level product that will be a permanent addition to your fine cutlery. You will not be disappointed.

This knife lends testament to the quality of Japanese blades. this knife is not only beautiful to hold and to look at, it is also the most efficient chopper I've ever used. Although made of wood, the handle is quite ergonomic and fits very nicely in the hand. the blade is thin, strong, and tapers to an edge so keen that I was initially afraid to use it. it cuts so cleanly and efficiently that I it makes cutting vegetables FUN. I feel that the wooden scabbard is a really nice touch as it allows me to protect the knife without the need for a knife block.

I use this all the time for vegetables. It's really nice, so much nicer than other non-veggie specific knives. I'm not a chef, so I don't know why... but its so smooth. I've sharpened it once already, no issues.

Never had such an extremely sharp knife! Hammered finish is aesthetically extraordinary!! Traditional Japanese octagonal rosewood handle with wooden knife cover - simplicity, durability and usability at their best while in unison. Beautiful cuts. Vegetable chopping has never been this easy, like cutting through butter. Ensure your fingers are away from knife edge while using this baby - just cut myself while wiping cilantro off the blade -otherwise.... they will be history, je je... Enjoy..

WOW!!! Learned about this knife in sub Reddit for chefs knives. This one came highly recommended for sharpness and light weight. Chops veggies effortlessly and makes prep work a breeze. Super sharp and looks beautiful. Got this for a Christmas present for my husband. He has wanted a nakiri knife for awhile now and I was pleasantly surprised that the knife didn't cost more.

I bought this knife in January of 2015, so it's been almost 6 years that I've owned and used it. I sharpened it once on a whet stone when I first received it and I've not had to sharpen it since. I do run it across the strop from time to time, but other than that, I've not done anything to the blade and it's still as sharp as it was on day one. It does not see daily use, however, as my MAC santoku is the workhorse of the kitchen, but whenever I'm processing any quantity of vegetables, the Yoshihiro comes out. I would absolutely buy this knife again without hesitation if something were to ever happen to it. In fact, the reason why I'm updating this review is because I'm in the market for another kitchen knife and have decided to buy another Yoshihiro.... just not sure which one yet. ;-) --- original review --- absolutely incredible knife. not as sharp as it can be right out of the box, but with a 1000/6000 whet stone and a strop, it's the sharpest piece of steel I've ever handled. Global's, MAC's, and Shun's can't touch it.

This is a nice knife of high quality. I didn't find a balance issue that the handle was too light as some other reviewers feel, though they are correct that the handle is light. Love the traditional octagonal shape of the handle, which is attractive and feels good in the hand. The knife cuts well and the blade is also aesthetically pleasing. It is a bit large for my purposes, but that is not the maker's fault, just my own preference. My previous Japanese-style knife, a Wusthof, was smaller and easier for me to use, but I cut myself a lot with it. And when I went to crush a clove of garlic, it cracked into pieces (that was a foolish mistake, since it was such a paper-thin blade). So far, perhaps because of the large size, I have not cut myself with this one yet. I cannot attest to how long the blade will stay sharp without sharpening, since I haven't used it extensively yet, but I am wondering whether I should eventually sharpen it myself or send it to the manufacturer for sharpening, as another reviewer said that you could. I will probably opt for the latter, if that is indeed available.The wooden case is nice, though it makes using it each time a bit of a special occasion. The knife requires some small maintenance care, since you are cautioned that if you leave moisture on it, it can rust. I did buy the oil that goes with it, cloth, and rust eraser, just in case. You can put a drop of oil on the blade each time if you are the type of person who loves to maintain things lovingly, but I am only doing that occasionally and just trying most times to be careful to wipe the blade with a cloth somewhat carefully before sheathing. Overall, I like this attractive, well-made knife, and enjoy using it to cut radishes and turnips in thin slices to pickle in Japanese vinegar.
